Chapter 163

Moreover, if even someone like Jonathan could be in danger, it wouldn’t matter whether Rosalie would go down on her knees or not

After all, even if she knelt till her legs broke, it would not be of any benefit to him.

Her silence made the man’s eyes darken, but he didn’t say anything more and simply started the car engine to drive off

Right then, all Rosalie could feel was the silent, oppressive atmosphere in the automobile

The next day, Rosalie went to see Lillian. They found a seat in a restaurant near the latter’s home and sat down. Looking at the obvious dark eye circles on Lillian’s face, Rosalie could guess that her best friend likely didn’t sleep well last rught.

“What happened when you got home yesterday? Rosalie asked.

“Don’t even bring that up. My parents were practically preparing ransom money when I came home. They almost whooped me.” Lillian said.

Rosalie was taken aback. “Why? You didn’t tell them about Callum?”

“Uh, I said a friend who hadn’t seen me for a long time pulled my leg and that I forgot to tell you, thus causing that false alarm, Lillian admitted. She didn’t have the guts to tell her parents the truth.

If her parents were to find out she had “devoured” a man abroad back then, she would’ve probably suffered way more last night. Her father might even just beat her up with a baseball bat.

It was also only yesterday, after seeing Callum, that she realized he was the same man she had seen through the glass window when she and Lillian dined together in the restaurant.

“So, at that time. Callum was watching… Lillian!” she concluded inwardly

Rosalie was also flabbergasted after listening to the history between her best friend and Callum. According to Jonathan, Callum was definitely not a person to be underestimated.
